Well what a crazy year this has been, I never thought I’d spend so long discussing masks and bubbles... . This year has been really difficult for everyone in so many different ways. I started messing around building things and found it was an escape from everything that was happening around me. . I got hooked on building things and have upgraded from my 3 rusty saws that I started with to a better range of tools. I still escape to my ‘workshop’ and it totally empties my mind of everything. . I really enjoy the process of taking pallet wood and turning it in to something really nice and it’s nice to see how happy people are with the things I’ve made for them. . I honestly never imagined my work would be followed by so many and I really appreciate all the likes and nice comments. . I’m looking forward to continuing improving in the new year and look forward to tackling some bigger projects. . So while this year didn’t go as expected, there were lots of positives that arose from it. . Hope every has fun welcoming in the new year! . #newyear #palletproject #palletwood #toolupgrade #ukmaker #ukwoodworking #palletwoodprojects #2020 #evolutionpowertools #reclaimedwood #upcycling https://www.instagram.com/p/CJd-q1WDH5D/?igshid=12r0dw0chy2ym

My latest creation. A cedar crate to be used for storage in a utility room. Made to custom size. Love the grain pattern on this crate, the pictures really don’t do it justice. . . Love the improvement I’ve made over the course of this year with the projects I’ve been making. Scroll to the end to see my first crate. . . My work has massively improved by using @evolutionpowertools_uk fury 5s table saw and 255 sliding mitre saw. . . Looking forward to see what projects 2021 brings my way. . . #evolutionpowertools #fury5stablesaw #r255sms #tablesaw #mitresaw #alwaysimproving #palletproject #cedarwood #woodencrate #palletwood #reclaimedwood #ukmaker #ukwoodworking https://www.instagram.com/p/CJWXOTWjlbQ/?igshid=19483qkjhcr9p

Next project coming together nicely. Love the colour and smell of cedar. . . Glue ups are much easier now I have my straight edge jig. Always improving with every build I complete. . .

Took some time to make a square edge jig. . . It’s not as accurate as a surface planer but it’s a million times more square than previously. I will probably change and improve it. But I’m very happy with the results. . . Took my inspiration from @dainerdesign and @karlpopewoodcraft for this. So thanks fellas. . . #ukwoodworking #ukmaker #palletproject #palletwood #straightedgejig #cedarwood #alwaysimproving https://www.instagram.com/p/CIvUwVJDboQ/?igshid=1audgdplo5pge

A small pallet wood tray, ready for decorating. . I always find it really satisfying seeing the transformation from dirty rough pallet to finished product. . Scroll to see how this wood started off! . This has been hand finished to 240 grit and will now have a design applied before vanishing. It will be used as a messy play tray. . . Trays can be made any size and can be designed and finished to suit any purpose.

Halloween fun pallet style! . . Sanded the blocks. Slightly smoothed the edges. Drilled a real light hole in some with a forstner bit. They were then painted and had some spooky stickers added. . . #halloween #kidscrafts #halloweencrafts #palletproject #palletblocks #palletwoodprojects #halloweenpallet #ukmaker #ukwoodworking https://www.instagram.com/p/CG7vwHNjsh7/?igshid=14vveelc5tz8u

The perfect gift to celebrate a new arrival. A personalised cedar crate. . This cedar crate is finished to a glass like smoothness and smells fantastic because of the reclaimed cedar wood used. The child’s name and date of birth were then hand burnt on to the front of the crate. These crates are made to last a life time, everything is over engineered to ensure it will last. . The size of the crate. The style of handle and the external design of the box are all fully customisable. . If you would like a personalised crate of your own, please get in touch to discuss. . . Specific external measurements of this crate are 30x24cm and 19.5cm tall. . #palletproject #reclaimedwood #ukmakers #pyrography #cedarwood #woodencrate #newbabygift #personalisedgifts #handmadewoodencrate #cedarsmellsgood https://www.instagram.com/p/CF6s_UbD7Kn/?igshid=1xw5bqwr4oiwl

Custom piece as requested. . . Cedar wood with a pyrography design on it. Used cedar to last longer in outdoor conditions. Sanded to 220 grit, was as smooth as glass. Drilled and attached a rope to hang the piece. . . . #palletproject #palletwood #pyrography #reclaimedwood #upcycledwood #ukmakers #ukwoodworking #customsigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxTcDSjiD9/?igshid=1shteb6c65xkh
